UTAUloid

La la la la laaaaa~

Hello! As you can see, I’m back! But since this post is dedicated to UTAUloid, I shall talk about it  (^.^)/

As River explained in the Happy Valentine’s” post, it is a free based program where you can make your own voice bank!  Vocaloid has the same things except you can’t make your own voice bank. A premade one is there for you! i tried making my own voice bank but that ended horribly so I plan on doing it again. BTW UTAU is Japanese and means song and oid means appearence. Vocal means voice and oid means appearence, so there ya’ go with UTAUloid and vocaloid!

Here are the youtube tutorials that I used to make my own XD! They are very good (^w^)!!!!

River’s Page Published!

Hi, everyone!  How was your week?

Today I am happy to announce that River’s Introduction Dialogue has been published!  It’s just a quiet day in the Studio when suddenly there’s a commotion. . . Will Purin and Emi escape River’s wrath?

If you want to read the dialogue in black-and-white, fear not!  It is located here.

In other news, Emi-kun was so kind as to update our DeviantArt page!  Check it out!

In the next few weeks, look forward to updates on our AMV, Spider Hitler, and Chibi Chronicles!  Look forward to it!

Happy Valentine’s Day from C-Cubed!

Since tomorrow’s Valentine’s day, we took a break from working and had fun today!  Dots brought out Legos, which of course meant that we had to build things.  The Studio was very noisy from the sounds of people rattling Legos around in the boxes, looking for a specific part. ^o^ Unfortunately there aren’t any pictures (the camera wasn’t working), but I’ll try and post some next time.

The other event of importance: Purin-chan showed us UTAU!  UTAU is a free voice synthesizer/manipulator like VOCALOID.  The difference is that you can record your own voice rather than using a premade one.  Don’t get me wrong, I love VOCALOID!  Still, UTAU seems pretty cool, no?

I’m sure that Purin will be delighted to explain more about UTAU.  Look forward to it!

And Happy Valentine’s Day!

OhEmGee AMV

As you can probably guess from the title, our next project is going to be an AMV!  We’ve been watching and sharing so many of them lately that it occurred to us–Wouldn’t it be awesome to do one ourselves?  So, we are.  The theme and song have yet to be determined.

Here’s a couple of my favorite AMVs:

Megurine Luka’s Akahitoha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO52OoC0HhA I actually like the original Hatsune Miku version better for the song, but this one is more inspiring animation-wise.  If you want to see the Miku version, it’s here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-qkOhDNfq0

Supercell’s Perfect Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBI01oLcBsM This one is absolutely beautiful!  In many ways.  Is it any wonder that it’s inspiring. . . ?

And for fans of our other work-in-progress, don’t worry: We’re going to work on the AMV alongside Spider Hitler.

Look Who Owns the Night!

So, after much debate and more deliberation (read: procrastination) than might have been necessary, we completed a video. And, oh, what a video! Since Dots is an expert at doing stop-action (a technique that, quite frankly, terrified me at first), we did a cute little stop-action story entitled Look Who Owns the Night.  Why don’t you check out the project page or watch the video here?

Let us know what you think!

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 23 trips to carry that many people.

^Pretty good for a first year, huh?

Sora no Tsubasa: Digital Utamiko

Today we’re all working on our own projects: Cloud and I are finishing up the pre-production for our Own the Night music video, Koko is helping a young member make a stop-action film in Movie Maker, and Purin is helping me with a song. Dots, of course, is being an angel and letting us/helping us do our craziness–thank you, Dots!

In other, more exciting news: Over the past few weeks, Purin worked hard on her story, Sora no Tsubasa: Digital Utamiko and just three days ago she posted the preface here on the blog!  Questions abound about the mysterious Country of Sora. . . and why Purin was chosen to enter it. . . .  Check it out!

Own the Night Updates

We’re halfway through January, and we haven’t finished a submission for the Own the Night contest yet. The only thing that has been decided up to this point is that we will each work on our own projects. We’ll still help the other members with their videos, but we will submit our videos individually instead of as a group.

The Dialogues Page is Now Up and Running!

Today I am happy to announce that the Dialogues page is now open!  Located under the Chibi Chronicles tab, the Dialogues page provides links to each dialogue that we have written.  If you don’t like all the brightly colored text, don’t worry: The Dialogues page also has links to black-and-white versions of the dialogues! So you can read in peace.

New Year’s Resolutions

Today was the first meeting of the year. And one of the first things that Dots asked us was what our New Year’s Resolutions were! And here they are.

Dots: Let’s start with Emi. What’s your New Year’s Resolution, Emi?

Emi: *complete deadpan* My New Year’s resolution is to be nicer to people.

Everyone else: . . .
